Wash down again, 2nd shampoo with mit. concentrate on glass. Pop bonnet and remove headlight covers.Towel dry with "wet towel" get rid of bulk of water, towel dry with "dry towel", concentrate on hidden bits, e.g., under boot, under doors, under bonnet, etc.Time for 2nd suds. Inside now, remove mats, vacuum mats and interior floors. Wipe down uphostery, leather treatment ... ummm, smells sooo good.Time for 3rd suds. Put all the bits back on/in and do a final check for water marks on mags and paint work. Final buff with soft dry towel.Park in garage and threaten everyone about proximity alert enabled. High voltage perimeter set up and activated. Claymore mines deployed.More suds needed and a little lay down in front of the TV.

The next thing you'll post is where to find tasty mushrooms!Listen, oh judicial one! You can call me a lot of things, but don't call me pommie! (Not that there's anything wrong with that ... damn this political correctness ...) I wash regularly, in fact I'm quite fond of my daily cleansing, especially the part that involves warm water, slippery soap and certain parts of my anatomy ... but I digress ... ... as for where the tasty mushrooms are to be found ... why, behind my ears, of course!

31/08/03 06:14 AM31/08/03 06:14 AM #6 I think I'll go wash mine too, I've parked it on the lawn but I can't be bothered, ummm, I realy should right? I'll go and find all of the car washing gear and get started, but what usualy happens is that the wife asks me to wash her car when I;m just about finish mine and am ready to have a lay down in the sun, dam should have done it while she was out instead of going to help the inlaws repair storm damage..

SWMBO says, "Oh it looks lovely ... are you going to do mine now!" "I'd love to sweety","Oh, hang on, that's right ...""I couldn't be bothered now!"I'm always in the sh*t, it's only the depth that varies ... Mind you, my car looks sensational ... long live Team HgAg!
